Malik Nabers Malik Nabers Going through drills Wednesday
Wed, Sep 9, 2026, 12:51 PM
Nabers (knee) participated in drills at Wednesday's practice, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.
Analysis: Nabers was first in line to go through wideout drills, according to Hughes, and it appeared as if he's ready to go for Sunday night's Week 1 opener against Dallas. It's unclear if Nabers will play his full snap allotment against the Cowboys, so Nabers is looking more like a fantasy WR2 with obvious upside in what would be his first game back from a torn ACL. |

Malachi Fields Malachi Fields Looks set to begin season as No. 2 wideout
Tue, Sep 8, 2026, 10:18 AM
Fields appears on track to open the season as the Giants' No. 2 wide receiver after the team released Darius Slayton on Monday, Matt Iegros of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Prior to his release, Slayton looked like the leading candidate to handle the perimeter role opposite Malik Nabers (knee). Those duties instead could fall to Fields, a third-round rookie out of Notre Dame. Listed at 6-foot-4 and 222 pounds, Fields drew positive buzz in training camp and the preseason for his physicality and ability to make plays downfield. The Giants still have veterans Darnell Mooney and Odell Beckham on hand to push for playing time, but Fields often took reps ahead of both players while Nabers was sidelined or limited to non-contact portions of practice for much of camp. |

Sun, Sep 6, 2026, 7:30 PM
Runyan and the Giants reached an agreement Sunday on a two-year $22 million extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Runyan's deal includes $12.5 million in guaranteed money. The starting left guard is all set to defend Jaxson Dart through the 2028 NFL season. |

Jameis Winston Jameis Winston Lands two-year extension
Sun, Sep 6, 2026, 2:47 PM
Winston and the Giants agreed Sunday on a two-year, $13 million extension, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.
Analysis: The extension gives Winston a slight bump in pay and keeps him on the Giants' books through the 2028 season. The 32-year-old Winston will provide the Giants will an experienced insurance option behind second-year quarterback Jaxson Dart, who missed two games due to a concussion during his rookie campaign. |

Jaxson Dart Jaxson Dart Feeling confident in new offense
Fri, Sep 4, 2026, 1:30 PM
Dart said Tuesday that he feels "so much better" now than he did during the offseason program in new offensive coordinator Matt Nagy's scheme, which has the quarterback playing more under center, Darryl Slater of NJ.com reports.
Analysis: As a rookie in 2025, Dart completed 63.7 percent (216 of 339) of his passes for 2,272 yards, 15 touchdowns and five interceptions while adding 86 carries for 487 yards and nine more TDs. But not many of his snaps occurred under center as then coach Brian Daboll attempted to cater to Dart's style of play. Perhaps the change in schemes will help Dart stay out of harm's way more often after he had five concussion checks last season. In any case, it remains to be seen if he'll have top WR Malik Nabers available Week 1 as he closes in on his recovery from last year's torn ACL. |

Cam Skattebo Cam Skattebo Briefly weighed retirement after injury
Thu, Sep 3, 2026, 12:39 PM
Skattebo admitted Thursday in an appearance on FanDuel TV's "Up & Adams" that he briefly considered retirement after sustaining a severe right ankle injury in an Oct. 26 loss to the Eagles. "I would say probably a month in [to the rehab process] I was kind of like, 'Do I really want to do this?'" Skattebo said. "But I got to go back and play."
Analysis: Skattebo told Kay Adams that coming out of college, he had determined that if he ever suffered a major injury, he would step away from football. However, after dislocating his right ankle just eight games into his rookie season, Skattebo determined that he still had too much good football left in him to justify an early retirement. Skattebo underwent surgery a day after suffering the injury and has bounced back well, as the Giants cleared him to take part in drills during June minicamp and made him available with no restrictions to begin training camp. After carrying four times for 19 yards in the Giants' preseason opener, Skattebo didn't play in either of the final two exhibitions, but he was held out merely as precaution. Skattebo is still likely to have his workload scaled back to some degree to begin the 2026 campaign after averaging 19.5 touches per game from Weeks 2 through 7 last season, but he'll head into the Sept. 13 opener versus the Cowboys as the Giants' clear lead option out of the backfield. |

Isaiah Likely Isaiah Likely Breakout potential with Giants
Thu, Sep 3, 2026, 9:20 AM
Likely could emerge as the second option in the Giants' passing game behind Malik Nabers (knee), according to Dan Graziano of ESPN.com.
Analysis: Likely signed a three-year, $40 million contract with the Giants in March and has subsequently formed a strong connection with QB Jaxson Dart on and off the field. The 26-year-old tight end also has familiarity with head coach John Harbaugh from their time together in Baltimore, where Likely played from 2022 to 2025. Likely was overshadowed by Mark Andrews on the Ravens, but the former has a clear path to a larger role in New York, where Likely will be competing for targets with fellow TE Theo Johnson (shoulder), as well as a WR room that includes Darius Slayton, Darnell Mooney, Malachi Fields and Odell Beckham behind Nabers. |

Malik Nabers Malik Nabers Handles individual, team drills Wednesday
Wed, Sep 2, 2026, 2:14 PM
Coach John Harbaugh said Nabers (knee) participated in individual and team drills at Wednesday's practice, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.
Analysis: Nabers has had a notable week, from telling Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com on Monday that he was unsure about his status for the season opener to not being seen at the open portion of Tuesday's practice. He ended up mixing into drills Tuesday after the session was closed to the media, and Harbaugh's comments Wednesday indicate Nabers was somewhere between a limited and full participant. The Giants are required to post their first Week 1 injury report next Wednesday, and how Nabers is listed there may be telling ahead of the Giants' Week 1 matchup with the Cowboys on Sunday, Sept. 13. |

Tyrone Tracy Jr. Tyrone Tracy Jr. Practicing in non-contact jersey
Tue, Sep 1, 2026, 2:54 PM
Tracy (neck) is present at Tuesday's practice in a non-contact jersey, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Tracy suffered a neck stinger in last Friday's preseason finale and avoided a major injury. Despite a rocky preseason and training camp under new coach John Harbaugh and OC Matt Nagy, Tracy still managed to make the Giants' 53-man roster. However, Najee Harris and Devin Singletary are also in the mix behind Cam Skattebo, leaving Tracy's actual role uncertain. |

Malik Nabers Malik Nabers Practices Tuesday despite early absence
Tue, Sep 1, 2026, 2:50 PM
Nabers (knee) was not spotted at the portion of Tuesday's practice open to the media, but he later took the field in uniform, according to Connor Hughes of SNY.tv.
Analysis: The apparent absence for Nabers may have raised some alarms after he said Monday he was unsure about his Week 1 availability, but it turns he was able to join Tuesday's session midway through. It's unclear how much work he will get in Tuesday, but it does bode well for his status that he was out there at all. |

Heads to IR
Mon, Aug 31, 2026, 6:50 PM
Black (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve with a designation to return by the Giants on Monday, Dan Salomone and Matt Citak of the team's official site report.
Analysis: The cornerback got injured during New York's final preseason game against the Jets. Black had broken up four passes during preseason action and had likely earned his spot on the active roster. He'll now have to miss the first four games, but the designation to return indicates that the coaching staff sees him as a part of the 53 once he's ready. |

Malik Nabers Malik Nabers Non-committal when asked about Week 1
Mon, Aug 31, 2026, 4:51 PM
Nabers (knee) was non-committal Monday when asked about playing Week 1 against the Cowboys, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Analysis: Nabers has been practicing all summer and even ditched his red non-contact jersey last week, but the star wide receiver admitted he still has checkpoints to clear before getting the green light to play in a regular-season game. "I'm gonna be making sure that I'm ready to go out there and I'm healthy enough to play all four quarters," Nabers said Monday. The Giants host the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football in 13 days. There should be a clearer picture of Nabers' availability for that game when the Giants kick off Week 1 prep work next week. |

Theo Johnson Theo Johnson Donning non-contact jersey at practice
Mon, Aug 31, 2026, 2:45 PM
Johnson (shoulder) is participating in Monday's practice in a non-contact jersey, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Analysis: Johnson was injured in practice last Monday and continues to deal with the injury, though his return to action would suggest the tight end is on track to play Week 1 against the Cowboys. Johnson figures to work mostly as a blocker this season after the Giants signed Isaiah Likely to a contract over the offseason. |

Tyrone Tracy Jr. Tyrone Tracy Jr. Makes initial 53-man roster
Sun, Aug 30, 2026, 6:20 PM
Tracy (neck) is on the Giants' initial 53-man roster for the 2026 season, Dan Salomone and Matt Citak of the team's official site report.
Analysis: The decision regarding Tracy's place on New York's roster was tied to uneven play in the preseason, the recent arrival of veteran RB Najee Harris to the position group, and a neck injury that he picked up in the team's exhibition finale. Having said that, he's among the backfield options along with No. 1 Cam Skattebo, Devin Singletary and Harris. It's perhaps a vote of confidence for the third-year pro, but because the other three are healthy, Tracy may be hard-pressed for a regular role early on this season. |

Darius Slayton Darius Slayton Makes the cut with Giants
Sun, Aug 30, 2026, 5:47 PM
Slayton is a member of the Giants' initial 53-man roster in 2026, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports.
Analysis: Slayton has made the cut ahead of his eighth campaign in New York. The wide receiver caught four of six targets for 58 yards while playing in all three preseason games this year. Slayton had a down year in 2025, recording 37 catches for 538 yards and one touchdown over 14 regular-season contests, all of which were his lowest totals since 2021. The 29-year-old appears to be on track to operate as one of New York's starting receivers on the outside, and he'll look to get back on track in 2026. |

Odell Beckham Jr. Odell Beckham Jr. Earns spot with Giants
Sun, Aug 30, 2026, 3:59 PM
Beckham has earned a spot on the 53-man roster for the Giants, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Beckham rejoined the Giants at the start of June, and although he had to compete for a roster spot he wound up snagging one. Roles are still being sorted behind top wideout Malik Nabers (knee), so it remains to be seen what type of workload Beckham will handle in Week 1. |

Traded to New York
Sat, Aug 29, 2026, 10:30 AM
The Ravens traded Okoye to the Giants in exchange for a 2028 seventh-round pick Saturday, Ian Rapoport of ESPN and NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The Nigerian player who signed with the Ravens through the International Player Pathway Program in 2025 was not set to make the team's 53-man roster this time around. Okoye will now be reunited with former head coach John Harbaugh and former defensive line coach Dennis Johnson in New York. While Okoye was not set to make the Ravens' roster, he will likely provide a good depth presence for the Giants' 3-4 defense throughout the regular season. |

Tyrone Tracy Jr. Tyrone Tracy Jr. Injury not believed to be serious
Fri, Aug 28, 2026, 10:32 PM
Tracy (neck) is dealing with a stinger, but it is not believed to be a major injury, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Tracy left Friday's preseason victory over the Jets with the injury, but head coach John Harbaugh indicated afterward it is not a serious setback. Tracy had four carries for 37 yards and a touchdown prior to his exit, which is the showing he needed in what is now a crowded Giants running back room. |

Braxton Berrios Braxton Berrios Forgettable outing in preseason finale
Fri, Aug 28, 2026, 10:15 PM
Berrios (undisclosed) caught one of four targets for 15 yards and lost a fumble in Friday's 23-6 preseason win over the Jets. He also had a 10-yard punt return.
Analysis: Berrios returned to action after missing the Giants' previous preseason game due to what coach John Harbaugh termed a soft-tissue injury. The veteran WR struggled on offense, losing a fumble on the Jets' four-yard line at the end of his only catch and failing to come down with three other targets. If Berrios makes the 53-man roster, it will be due primarily to his capabilities as a return man on special teams rather than his contributions as a receiver. |

Odell Beckham Jr. Odell Beckham Jr. Three catches in final push for roster spot
Fri, Aug 28, 2026, 10:12 PM
Beckham caught three of six targets for 53 yards in Friday's 23-6 preseason win over the Jets.
Analysis: Beckham led the Giants with six targets and finished one receiving yard behind Xavier Gipson's team lead in Friday's preseason finale. It remains to be seen if Beckham has done enough to secure a roster spot with the team that drafted him in the first round back in 2014, though the math looks more favorable for the veteran WR after Calvin Austin's season-ending knee injury moved Beckham up a rung on the depth chart. |
